Maiden Optional Claiming

Chart notes

LAZY Y COLLECTION assumed command just off the fence heading into the first turn, slowed the pace down slightly unchallenged down the backside, continued to cruise along up top with no pressure being applied by the closest pursuers on the last turn and under a well rationed out ride had plenty more in the final furlong winning comfortably while on the wrong lead through the stretch. PERFECT RING was bumped soon after the break from the train reaction from the outside two runners at the start, settled in the later part of midfield along the backside, had to wait on the rail from the five sixteenths pole to upper stretch, charged home having clear run inside in the final furlong but could not get to the winner who had it his own way throughout on the front end. WINNING AGENDA settled near the rear with runners on both sides, started to advance outside three deep midway along the backside, made a sustained circling move from being three wide at the five sixteenths around foes to be in the six path at the top of the lane, continued with relentless pursuit outside at the furlong pole and closed in belatedly well ahead of the rest of the pack capturing third money at the wire. BALLET BEAUTY was keen early pulling at the rider on the fence, sat in midfield under a hard hold starting to relax down the backside, dropped back lacking running room behind and between horses at the quarter pole and showed some good grit on the rail in the final furlong coming back on late for a minor placing. WHISKEY OVER WINE travelled four wide outside two others stalking the frontrunner, narrowed the margin three deep on the outside still at the half, was ridden along trying to keep pace three to four wide on the far turn, moved out to the five path for the stretch run staying on the incorrect lead fading between runners at the furlong marker. MRS. G broke outwards exchanging bumps on the break, had the two path following back off the leader in the initial bend, continued to sit back drafting behind the front runner down the back straight, took the short way inching up around the turn closing the gap by the quarter pole, shifted to the three path straightening out for home but wilted between foes by the sixteenth pole. DEANNA broke in trading bumps at the start, tracked the pacesetter three wide between horses early on, chased the pace along the backstretch, was hard ridden just to hold second position with the winner getting away at the quarter pole and had little left turning for home tiring between rivals four wide in upper stretch. PRINCESS RAINBOW hopped slightly on the break, travelled two wide on the first bend near the rear, co-trailed on the inside of others at the half, made little impact around the second turn and could not factor in the four path in the drive to the finish line. RED GUITAR was floated out five wide at the rear in the first bend, shared the back outside while going four deep at the half, labored behind the group three wide at the three-furlong marker and came up empty for the stretch running.
